The details

About this event

Mad Planet is hosting a throwback dance party that promises to transport you straight to the 90s. With a playlist packed with goth, industrial, and nu-metal hits, this event is a nostalgic nod to the days of loitering at the mall in your favorite band tees and JNCOs. DJ Halfway Jones from Freak on a Leash Fellowship will be spinning the tracks, ensuring the dance floor stays lively.

This event is more than just a dance party; it's a chance to relive the angst and energy of your youth. Whether you're a longtime fan of the genre or just looking for a unique night out, the Mall Goth party is set to deliver. Dust off your vintage chokers and get ready for a night filled with iconic anthems and good vibes.

From the organizer

Spring is in the air and it's time to get back to the mall: Hot Topic for your spaghetti-strap crushed velvet slip dresses and wallet chains; Gadzooks for your big pants and band tees; and Mad Planet for your favorite goth, industrial, and nu-metal hits of the 90s from Goth Barge at MALL GOTH. But XdominionX and the Dance Commandr have a special guest on the decks this time around: DJ Halfway Jones from Freak on a Leash Fellowship, Milwaukee's premier nu-metal party, who'll be there to spin the raw, dark beats to accompany this nostalgic trip down memory lane to loiter in front of the Mrs. Fields in your JNCOs. So grab your favorite vintage choker from Claire's and freshen up your color with that perfect Manic Panic Vampire Red and join us to celebrate the angsty anthems that defined our misspent youth. We'll meet you there.
